European Stock-Market Operator to Be Listed on Europe Exchanges in Coming Weeks

IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc. said it would split off its European stock-market operator Euronext through an initial public offering in coming weeks, after it unloads part of the exchange to a group of European financial investors.

After the IPO, Euronext shares will initially trade on the stock markets in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris, ICE said Tuesday. A listing will be added in Lisbon before the fourth quarter.
